I didn't realize how my statement sounded until you pointed it out :) Bree is definitely a fun female character. She'll turn out to be quite an amazing person, very powerful in her own way. But she has a lot of quirks too. Clumsy, drawn to danger, senses trouble and helps others but it always backfires on her. That plays into some of her "abilities". <br /><br />Thanks, Mary. Oh yeah, cooking is nice. Hmmm, I never did anything with cooking. Faelan is in the other stories as well. I'll have to decide if he can cook. <br /><br />Thanks, Tori. This was great fun!Anita Clenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-18099837468217190512010-08-09T22:06:30.967-04:002010-08-09T22:06:30.967-04:00Woot!

I wasn't commenting on the book per say with the lesbian comment. I can tell that's not what is in the book, but I was just commenting on the one statement. Just to clarify. I don't mind reading alpha males at all and often read male main character fantasy novels. But I enjoy strong female characters too.Dawn Embershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214560861614476799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-51635540556929122472010-08-09T21:43:11.955-04:002010-08-09T21:43:11.955-04:00Thanks, Donna.

I wish we'd had more time to spend together. Seems like everyone was rushing around with all their different groups. <br /><br />Kathryn, thanks so much. That complement coming from such a great author is inspiring. <br /><br />Pat, thanks for stopping by. I truly believe there is a bit of Romeo and warrior in every man. It just has to be recognized, cultivated, and sometimes unearthed.<br /><br />Thanks, Nicole. I love Highland warriors too.

Just hearing that this sounds like a fantastic story thrills me.<br /><br />KittNLuv: Thank to you as well. I guess as a debut author I worry that it won't be as much fun to read as it was to write, so this little pat on the back is awesome. I love highlanders too. <br /><br />Dawn: Thanks for even considering adding this to your massive reads list. Oh my gosh, do I have one of those myself, tons of books I'm trying to get to. This is definitely a book about an alpha male (no lesbians) in fact several alpha males. We'll see others as heroes later in the series. I love a good highlander story and I hope you'll enjoy this one. And hoping to restore your faith in the the heroine :) she doesn't really botch the rescue attempt so much as find out that he didn't need rescuing. There's a good bit of humor in the book. Later on, he seriously needs rescuing, and yes, she comes through. We'll find out later that she's like nothing the clan has ever seen, very powerful, and she has some deep secrets surrounding her that she isn't even aware of. Secrets that will knock her for a loop.<br /><br />Tori: Thanks so much. Yes there are demons, but these are the bad kind. Very sneaky and very powerful. You never know whose skin they might be hiding underneath :)<br /><br />Jeannette: Thank you. I agree. Men in kilts are really something. I'll share something funny here. When I created these warriors, they were very covert, relying on secrecy, not running around in kilts drawing everyone's attention. BUT...when my editor read the first part of the story, she asked my agent why Faelan wasn't in a kilt if he was Scottish. I told my agent that it would blow his mission, he was more like an 1800's Special Forces soldier. The warriors rely on secrecy and stealth. Then I thought about it and figured if she wanted a kilt, I'd give her a kilt. Darn if it didn't make more sense and add to the flavor of the story. Faelan has a good reason for having the kilt on in the beginning and though the warriors can't wear them all the time, for secrecy's sake, they prefer to as often as possible. So there's my secret about my men in kilts. They weren't supposed to be wearing them at all :)Anita Clenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-65177604700511319712010-08-09T02:20:22.071-04:002010-08-09T02:20:22.071-04:00Thanks for another fantabulous giveaway and the se...Thanks for another fantabulous giveaway and the series sounds very interesting!

A romance novel with men would be a lesbian romance novel (and I'd read that).<br /><br />The premise does sound interesting. Someone brought up in a time where men did the saving and women were never considered warriors having to figure out how to deal with such changes in person. Sounds like a good idea. Though, her botched attempt made it a little less appealing for me. There's the build up of change and then, he has to save again. <br /><br />I might have to check out highlander, because I've never read any before. *adds to massive read list*Dawn Embershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214560861614476799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-30054956738864746572010-08-09T00:41:51.133-04:002010-08-09T00:41:51.133-04:00They do sound fantastic, I've been looking for...They do sound fantastic, I've been looking for a new highlander series. :)KittNLuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868792983433242253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-13942204835888530552010-08-09T00:32:04.457-04:002010-08-09T00:32:04.457-04:00Anita's books sound fantastic, I'll be loo...Anita's books sound fantastic, I'll be looking for them.Barbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.com
